Background

Case Study: COVID-safeguard System

COVID-19 is a pandemic which is causing social, economic and health issues for the whole world. Many governments around the world are using advanced technologies to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks in their countries. For example, some of these advanced technologies are using CCTV cameras to monitor people movements, drones to warn people to use face masks and mobile apps to track the social contact among people.

Lets assume that you are working as a system analyst and your key skills are to design and develop information systems. Australian government has contacted you to develop an information system to collect information to help reduce the spread. The system can be called as COVID-19 safeguard. The main aims of COVID-19 safeguard information system are to identify clusters of infected areas, monitor quarantines, and educate people about social distancing and maintaining hygiene. The overarching goal of this project is to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 among people.

The information system should use advanced technologies such as CCTV cameras, drones, mobile signals such as Bluetooth, mobile phone data (i.e., location, date, time etc.) or any other technology that you think will be helpful in the design of this system.

Further background

Refer to the Project Vision Document submitted in Assessment Item 1 regarding COVID-safeguard project. In this assignment, you are required to prepare various system analysis activities for the proposed system.

Please refer to the marking guide when preparing your response to see what criteria and standards will be used to assess your work and your progress.

Assessment Item 2 Tasks

This assignment has four (4) tasks as described below:

Task 1. Create one questionnaire that you would send to one stakeholder group with an aim to help you identify further details about the environment, the problem area and/or how the system would operate to help solve the problem.

• Identify which stakeholder you are going to send the questionnaire to.
• Write an introduction statement that will go with the questionnaire explaining the purpose of the questionnaire.
• Write 10 questions, seven (7) closed-ended and three (3) open questions.
• This should be written as a questionnaire that could be distributed.
• Only write the questions, you should not write the answers.

Task 2. Draw a use case diagram using all possible use cases and actors for COVID-safeguard system. Also write brief use case descriptions for any five (5) use cases.

Task 3. Develop System Sequence Diagrams (SSD) for the use cases you have identified in Task 2 of this assignment, so you need to develop five (5) SSDs.

Task 4. Write a fully developed use case description using ONLY one use case for the proposed COVID-safeguard system.
